********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** *** Does anyone know of a text editor that will insert text into *** *** borders without splitting single words between two lines? It *** *** would optimally need to be configured to, perhaps, take either *** *** a text file or clipboard contents and format them to word-wrap *** *** at a predefined width to fit the text inside the boundaries of *** *** the border, such as I've done here by hand. *** ********************************************************************** * * ********************************************************************** *** What would be even better is if it could detect breaks in *** *** paragraphs and split them up such as I've done here. And it *** *** would be nice if one could create modular border creations *** *** which could be assembled to form boxes. If the paragraph is *** *** six lines long, then six lines of side border would be added *** *** to accommodate, along with borders for the top and bottom of *** *** the paragraph. :) *** ********************************************************************** * * ********************************************************************** *** My whole mission is to basically post messages with ASCII art *** *** throughout, especially in response to people who enjoy posting *** *** messages in HTML. I figure ASCII art is likely to scramble on *** *** their screen and it will give me an excuse and valid argument *** *** in favor of ASCII. Besides, cool borders make messages more *** *** fun and interesting to read, they don't take any more time to *** *** download than a regular message, and it's fun on my end as *** *** well. I tried the ASCII EDITOR mentioned in the previous *** *** article <74jt0e$tp...@news.rhrz.uni-bonn.de> but it didn't seem *** *** to have the function of inserting text into a border such as *** *** this, and it breaks words between lines. Thanks for any info. *** ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** -- _______ _ _ _ (_______) (_) | | | | _____ _ ____ ____ _ | | ____ ____ ____ | | _ ____ | ___) | | / ___) / _ ) / || | / ___) / _ | / _ | | | / ) / _ ) | | | | | | ( (/ / ( (_| | | | ( ( | | ( ( | | | |< ( ( (/ / |_| |_| |_| \____) \____| |_| \_||_| \_||_| |_| \_) \____)
